presidential elections

“The people of this country are
furious,” Trump said at one point in the debate. “There has never been anything
like this.” He was correct. In sum, instead of being content
on asking for forgiveness for his behavior, Trump engaged in a fierce, highly
personalized and, unlike the first debate, well-prepared attack on his
opponent, her husband and her views. Clinton responded in kind and the result
was a constant series of exchanges, of an intensity and anger unlike any in
previous presidential debates in memory. With the debate came the assurance
that Donald Trump would fight to the end. With a month to go, the election was
far from over.
